We're just outside a fairly rough village. Last week I planted some shrubs on the verge and two days later they were gone... Just holes in the ground. I assume nicked rather than some officious council worker.
There's a parcel of land next to the road we are trying to buy and if we do, we'd want to plant a screening hedge but now I'm nervous.
Is it worth chaining the bushes up somehow? I wondered about laying a steel rope along the hedge line and tying each trunk to it. Sure it won't stop anyone determined but it will mean they can't just pull and run.
Anyone ever done this?! How do the council or businesses prevent thefts?
